hmmm. I beat that level the first time using the map to show where the bombers were coming from.

me too.

screw you guys. it took me easily over 50 times to beat it.

picked up tiger woods 06 at blockbuster, never played any of the tiger games. also bought devil may cry 3 for 19 and bought FIFA Street for 35. FIFA street is pretty cool so far. havn't played the others.

Let me know about Devil May Cry 3. The difficulty level is supposed to be insane. They took the Japanese version of the hard difficulty mode and made it the normal difficulty mode in the US version.

I've played through both DMC 1 and 2. DMC 1 was great, DMC 2 was kinda weak. This one is getting pretty damn good reviews, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I never played DMC 1, played 2 and beat it pretty easily. I heard DMC 3 is the best, the first 2 levels i think are set on a high difficulty level and if you get past them it unlocks the difficulty ratings for the rest of the game.

saw a game coming out soon called Tourist Tournament... it is supposed to be Gran Turismo with motorcycles instead of cars. nice.

You gotta play DMC 1. If you liked 2... which I assume you did because you're giving 3 a try... you'll love the 1st one. Better enemies, better boss fights... better story.

i read a review about it, sounds awesome. I think its Tourist Trophy, not tournament.

The MotoGP games for XBox are great, but they're just that: MotoGP. Kinda like a Formula 1 game, MotoGP is limited by the tracks and bikes. I'd love a motorcycle game with hundreds of bikes and upgrade options, a slew of manufacturers, etc. Is that the idea behind Tourist Trophy?

mussa · February 17, 2006, 01:25:24 PM

from the review yes. i forget how many tracks they have but it was alot. like murp said, exactly like gran tourismo, but with bikes.

MURP · February 18, 2006, 06:45:29 PM

here is more info and even some vids of Tourist Trophy

Diomedes · February 18, 2006, 06:49:41 PM

Thanks, MURP. It sounds like a good start. I'd like to see other bikes listed. BMW, Moto Guzzi, Triumph, even Harley Davidson (

) should all be added. And there's no reason they can't include motocross bikes and tracks, flat-track bikes and courses, and drag racing too. They could do so much with this...

Finally tried Arena Football on xbox live tonight since I have off from work. After a nice 1 play, 38 yard drive and a goal line stand the little bitch I was playing against quit. There was a whole 16 people playing, so I'm not getting my hopes up for a full game anytime soon.

My Ps2 has stopped playing CDs with the darker tint on them. Don't know why. Anyone ever run a DVD cleaner CD on their PS2?

PhillyPhanInDC · February 20, 2006, 11:52:18 PM

What do you mean by "darker tint"? PS2 Game CDs or something else?

Well this certainly disproves the "Once you go black, you never go back" theory.
